CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH COCONUT-TURMERIC RELISH
Because cauliflower steaks are held together by the piece of stem at the base of each head, you can really only cut two thick steaks per cauliflower. Save the trim for making cauliflower rice or roasted florets.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove the toughest outer leaves from cauliflower (leave the tender inner leaves) and trim stem. Resting cauliflower on stem, cut in half from top to bottom, creating two lobes with stem attached. Trim off outer rounded edge of each piece to create two 1 1/2"-thick steaks; reserve trimmed off florets for making cauliflower rice or roasted cauliflower.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook cauliflower, gently lifting up occasionally to let oil run underneath, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet, turn steaks over, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until second side is golden brown, about 3 minutes, then transfer skillet to oven. Roast just until stems are tender when pierced with a cake tester or toothpick, 8-12 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- If using relish, swipe some yogurt over each plate and place a steak on top. Spoon one-quarter of relish over each. Season with more salt and pepper.
MASHED CAULIFLOWER
For surprisingly flavorful and creamy mashed cauliflower, cook your florets not in water but in a gently simmering pot of milk seasoned with garlic and thyme. When the cauliflower is mashed (or blended), the pectin in the cauliflower will thicken and smooth the mash. Add the garlic- and herb-infused milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a light, silky consistency. All that's needed is a little sour cream for tang. Save the leftover infused milk for braising white beans, a can of tomatoes, or for making more mashed cauliflower.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower, milk, garlic, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt; heat over medium-high. When the mixture begins to bubble around the edges (you don't want it to come to a full boil), reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place a colander over a bowl, then drain the cauliflower, catching the milk in the bowl. Discard the thyme sprigs. Return the cauliflower and garlic to the pot. Mash the cauliflower using a potato masher, or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Add the reserved milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mashing or blending in between, until the cauliflower reaches desired consistency. (You'll use about about 1/4 cup of milk.)
- Stir in the sour cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower. For the best results, choose a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size. Avoid heads with any brown or yellow spots.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets. This will help them cook evenly.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender. This is the best way to preserve the cauliflower's nutrients and flavor.
- Mash the cauliflower until smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or even a fork.
- Add your desired seasonings. Turmeric, garlic, and black pepper are all great options.
- Serve the mashed cauliflower immediately. It's best when it's hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Turmeric mashed cauliflower is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of fiber and vitamins. Plus, it's easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
